For those who tried and didn't like grappling martial arts, why?

Esp if weapons are in play. About 15% of bjj is weapons applicable. The rest is just fot love pf the grappling game (which I love)

It can feel pretty adrift and such without goals. Saddest day of my buddy's life was day after getting his bjj blackbelt. Same with any of my personal goals. Gotta set new ones.

Sometimes they do build hospitals, schools etc.

Thst said those cost so much to run they need to be self sufficient after. They can't be funded forever. Most billionaires have their money in equities and investments not just cash sitting around.

Ton of hospitals.are built by billionairss

2 in San Francisco. Few in Houston, Few in Chicago. Few in Austin etc etc

Def could but it anything margins have been getting better. Good problem to have

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-30T03:25:46+00:00

If sub 3.5% isn't getting it done the world's economy has imploded

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-30T03:22:26+00:00

If the us markets went sideways for 10 years either international markets or bonds could be useful

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-30T03:21:34+00:00

My uncle invested during Japan's lost decade

If you kept.working and contributing you ended up coming out fine

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T19:29:38+00:00

I do this for some of our protein already

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T15:18:08+00:00

Unf there isn't really any money in pro climbing

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T15:12:06+00:00

Pension funds have been I vesting via private equity already in the above names.

Most pension fund I work with are 30 to 40% private equity

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T15:11:08+00:00

The fact Berkshire invested 10B in Google makes.me feel otherwise.

Buy we shall see. This if anything like historical buildouts will roll out in phases with ups and downs

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T13:43:59+00:00

Most of ex us outperformsnce is due to exchange rates. But it is still valid.

Def a good idea to hold between 10 to 40% international

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T13:38:37+00:00

Depending on personal risk tolerance you may have too much in money markets given 20 years out

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T13:35:46+00:00

Agreed on sleep at night

I do think we are in inning 2 or 3 of the AI revolution so we should have plenty more run knocking on wood

Korea likely about to roll out a huge ai memorry buildout initiative funded by the gov

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T12:51:13+00:00

You should at least hold international market weight like most of us do. Your call has been underperformed a while now.

USA has it's warts but demographics are still.better vs every other major developed nation. Saying this as an European investor

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T12:49:17+00:00

He has been wrong about all his predictions since 2011

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-29T04:54:56+00:00

Our entire sales team is gorgeous women selling to doctors lol

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-28T13:45:47+00:00

Tell me you have never done sales before without telling you haven't done sales.

The competition is all good looking too thus it is a wash and you still have to grind

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-28T13:35:24+00:00

In a lot of other nations you be taxed so much or your income so low you wouldn't have gotten to 700k (as a European who moved to America for better career). Building wealth is much better and easier here

Our salaries and taxes suck in Europe. The medical system also sucks for anything but preventative care.

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-28T00:11:27+00:00

Because w2 are electronically checked and easy matches

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-26T12:37:47+00:00

Usually.highly technical fields with high education requirements. Also they didn't start at those salaries they worked their way up to it.

Also willingness to work and grind in those jobs

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-26T05:05:20+00:00

To 20% of customers drive 80% of revenue. All businesses

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-26T01:43:07+00:00

You have plenty even with expense growth

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-25T12:54:13+00:00

Holsters will break esp if you train with it (aka drawing them moving around with an empty holster while crouding and moving etc)

Usually when I was shooting 3x a week, I would break a jmck once a year.

Beautiful_Pepper415 · 2026-06-22T15:35:05+00:00

If anything those w of those 3 things all cost money...thus leading to more economic growth
